    Great pickup...we will win 2 more games now than if we kept Brown.

    (I dont see how Brown will beat out Rackers)

    Here is the 2nd official MTS Mock Draft. I made a lot of changes from the first version but I still have a few big name players sliding completely out of the 1st round. I have two very talented but injured players sneaking into the latter part of the opening round (Gronkowski and Thomas). I tried to match up need in some instances while paying attention to best available players in some spots as well. Have at it!!

    STL- S. Bradford QB Oklahoma- Seems like a foregone conclusion
    DET- N. Suh DT Nebraska- Should dominate early in his NFL career
    TB- G. McCoy DT Oklahoma- A disruptive force that’s needed in TB
    WAS- R. Okung OT Oklahoma St- Made sense before McNabb, no brainer now
    KC- B. Bulaga OT Iowa- A reach in my opinion but fits the profile they are after in KC
    SEA- E. Berry FS Tennessee- Monte Kiffin loves Eric Berry, Pete Carroll loves Monte Kiffin
    CLE- J. Haden CB Florida- This would give the Browns 2 young stud CB’s to go with a solid vet in Sheldon Brown
    OAK- J. Pierre-Paul DE South Florida- Talented Pass rusher to help chase Philip Rivers around
    BUF- T. Williams OT Oklahoma- One of the big risers in the draft lands where he is desperately needed
    JAX- C. Spiller RB Clemson- This pick would turn JAX into Panthers South
    DEN- E. Thomas FS Texas- McDaniels comes from a background where ball skills are worshipped
    MIA- D. Williams NT Tennessee- Perfect NT for the Dolphins
    SF- R. McClain LB Alabama- Singletary will love the leadership pitch from Saban
    SEA- D. Bryant WR Oklahoma St- In Alex Gibbs we trust, SEA addresses the OL outside the 1st round
    NYG- D. Morgan DE Georgia Tech- This team knows you can’t have too many pass rushers
    TEN- B. Graham DE Michigan- If Graham lands here, he would be my pick for DROY
    SF- C. Brown OT USC- A lot of teams are high on Brown, he fills a big need for SF
    PIT- M. Iupati OG Idaho- Need to get the run game going and this is a big-time mauler
    ATL- M. Pouncey OC Florida- Why not draft a stud center to keep Matt Ryan safe for the next 10 yrs
    HOU- K. Jackson CB Alabama- A very talented, polished CB that should start day 1 in HOU
    CIN- J. Gresham TE Oklahoma- Finally, the Bengals get an elite TE for Carson Palmer
    NE- R. Mathews RB Fresno St- They have a lot of bodies at RB but not a single stud, enter Mathews
    GB- K. Wilson CB Boise St- Watching the arial circus against AZ makes this a logical move
    PHI- D. McCourty CB Rutgers- They can address LB in the later rounds, don’t want to miss the run on CB’s
    BAL- R. Gronkowski TE Arizona- If he can pass a physical with his back issues, this is a beast of a TE
    AZ- J. Hughes OLB TCU- They need some fresh legs outside and Hughes has 10+ sack potential
    DAL- A. Davis OT Rutgers- Big, talented OT to replace Flozell
    SD- J. Odrick DE Penn State- The Jets exposed a leaky front in SD and Odrick will help plug it up
    NYJ- D. Thomas WR Georgia Tech- Jets aren’t afraid to go for it, this is a WR with HUGE upside
    MIN- J. Best RB Cal- Peterson is a monster but Childress can use Best in similar way he used Westbrook
    IND- R. Saffold OT Indiana- Surprise 1st round pick, Polian went public with his distaste of the OL
    NO- S. Weatherspoon LB Missouri- Excellent postseason for Weatherspoon, he fits N.O. defense perfectly

    Not sure why that mock has us taking Jackson, he's considered a late 2nd to 3rd round pick and consistently ranked as the 5th ranked CB behind Haden, Wilson, McCourty, and Robinson.

    Also can't see Jax taking a RB when they have much bigger needs. A Spiller/MJD combo would be nasty but Earl Thomas would be a better pick for them (hopefully they don't pick him up for the Texans sake though). Interesting that he doesn't have Clausen going in the 1st, his stock is falling pretty hard.

    Kinda glad to know Tebow will probably go early 2nd if not late 1st...gives the Texans one more option @ #51 because some scouting department is waaaayy over-valuing his skills.

    I like Moats. He's like a dart through the defense and falls forward most of the time. He's good when he's fresh. Nice 3rd option

    Moars is a servicable backup...and a known commodity. I don't know why you would have a problem with this.

    I'm afraid Brian is going to kill somebody on the field before this is all over. That boy is just inhuman.

    while reading the article i starting thinking that this sounds like something demeco would do.


    This would particularly be valuable to Mario since he was to wresltle with lineman.

    Demeco and Cushing is starting to look like the Francis and Mobley of the NFL

    Thats prob. the same thing you said the first time you had sex.

    Basically what I'm trying to say or maybe you were still in your mommy's womb when this happened, was when Francis and Mobley was teammates they were bascially booty buddies. Example.

    I found it weird that DeMeco was at Cushing's press conference when he won the defensive rookie of the year award.
